I`m planning on doing a sniper rifle with some explosive bullets. (Part of a weapons pack i have been making) Does anybody know how to make the bullets explode  If someone would know a piece of LUA code that could help and would be so kind to post it here, that would help alot! Sincerely: a LUA noob |

i suggest you check the Warhammer pack since the bolter's there have explosives rounds although personally i don't see how practical would a sniper with Bolt rounds could be. That said this is cortex command, where practicality isn't used much. |

Attaching this script to an MOPixel will make it explosive: Code: function Create(self) self.Vel = self.Vel.Normalized*math.random(110,114); --adjust velocity here self.Sharpness = 50; end function Update(self) local ray = SceneMan:CastObstacleRay(self.Pos , self.Vel*1.05*TimerMan.DeltaTimeSecs*FrameMan.PPM , Vector() , Vector() , self.ID , 0 , 1); if ray > 0 or self.ToDelete == true then local lr = CreateAEmitter("Bullet Explosive"); lr.Pos = self.Pos+((self.Vel/125)*ray); lr.Vel = Vector(0,0); MovableMan:AddMO(lr); lr:GibThis(); self.ToDelete = true; end end In order to work you must define an AEmitter called "Bullet Explosive"(without quotes) that gibs into the explosion. |

Oh and thanks for the tip. |

And how do you do that  isn`t it annoying when you know everything else about making a mod and then you find out you dont realize a thing that is probably the most simple thing in the world? |

Ok thanks. It`s working now Planning on releasing the mod soon... |

I thought you don't need Lua to make bullets explode and all you had to do was just set the GibImpulseLimit = (any number less than 20) and attach a few AddGib stuff to it. |

MOPixel has no gibs. You can use other kinds of MOs, but they don't have tails like that. Well, in the WWM mod, there's a sniper using one aemitter and one mopixel to acheve it without lua. |

What's wrong with an old-fashioned TDExplosive?

Although that shouldn't matter for this thread unless Dex98 wants to make a shotgun that shoots exploding bullets that explode based on time. Xery wrote: MOPixel has no gibs.

Did he attach the aemitter to the MOPixel or the MOPixel to the aemitter? |

@ryry1237: What are you talking about? We're talking about a gun bullet here. Make it a TDExplosive and he has what he wants. |

Another way you could use Lua to make exploding bullets is to just check the magnitude of the bullet's velocity, instead of casting rays. It's a lot more efficient if you have a lot of bullets at the same time, and as long as your bullet has zero sharpness, zero bounce, and maximum friction, works pretty well in my experience. |

The sniper in this mod has exploding bullets with NO Lua at all. It's a slightly old mod, but it should still work in the current build. Might need a couple reference changes but nothing major. Just posting to prove that you don't need to use Lua for everything when simple ini coding will give the same result. |
